World No. 1 Jannik Sinner continues his quest for a maiden Wimbledon final on Thursday as he faces Australia's Aleksandar Vukic in the second round. This highly anticipated clash sets the stage for Sinner's fourth consecutive third-round appearance at the All England Club.
The top seed demonstrated his formidable form on Tuesday, dispatching compatriot Luca Nardi in a dominant straight-sets victory (6-4, 6-3, 6-0). Sinner was exceptionally efficient, not facing a single break point and converting five of his 13 opportunities on Nardi's serve. His impressive first and second serve win percentages of 84% and 76% respectively, underscored his high-calibre performance.
This win marked Sinner's 75th Grand Slam victory and his 25th since ascending to the world No. 1 ranking after last year's French Open. With a 14-4 overall record at Wimbledon, Sinner aims for his 15th victory against Vukic to secure a spot in the third round.
While Sinner has yet to reach a Wimbledon final, he has consistently performed well, reaching the quarter-finals in 2022 and 2024 and a semi-final two years ago. An early exit would be a significant upset for the 23-year-old Italian, who has not departed in the first week since his 2021 debut.
On the other side of the net, world No. 93 Aleksandar Vukic is eager to make his mark at SW19, aiming to progress beyond the second round for the first time in his career. He overcame Tseng Chun-hsin in a hard-fought four-set match (6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(5)), showcasing resilience, particularly in the crucial fourth-set tie-break.
Despite reaching the second round for the third consecutive year, Vukic has never advanced further at Wimbledon, having been defeated by Quentin Halys in 2023 and Carlos Alcaraz last year. The 29-year-old Australian, a clear underdog, faces an uphill battle against the top-ranked player, especially given his broader Grand Slam record of only reaching the third round once in 11 previous attempts (this year's Australian Open).
